The "principle 1" is incorrectly defined.
New definition:
Principle 1 (P1), Sat 18 Sept 1999
For all c (c is a candidate), all V, all V' (where
V and V' are election systems), then if
V' in AltAtAfter(V,c) and c loses V, then c
also loses V'.
AltAtAfter(V,c) is defined to be the set of all
election papers collections that can be derived
from V by altering preferences at and/or after the
preference for preference c.
For example,
V:
10 ABC
11 B
S
One system in AltAtAfter(V,'B') is this:
10 A
2 AB
3 ACB
4 AD
1 B
1 C
S
No deletion of the ABC papers was possible, so
since A has 19, 9 papers did come from the alteration
of the 11 B preferential voting papers.

Does Condorcet (1 winner) satisfy the (P1) ('principle 1')
principle that is shown above ?.

What's that multiwinner method Schulze has: surely that's failed
by (P1).
There could be a few more theories failed by my principle (P1).
It would be interesting to see if some can get a few of the
giant scurrying brown cockroach like theories that move
past the vision of the recipients of this mailing list (the
'election-methods-list at eskimo.com' mailing list).
